If you know me at all, you should know I'm a MASSIVE Game of Thrones fan. I spend most of my time texting fellow geeks in a Westerosi manner; I have Funkopops and posters of my favorite GoT characters all over my room; I have various GoT-inspired shirts, I've read some of the books (I'm going through them slowly enough, so I don't spoil the show for myself); and I mention GoT in bits and pieces on my blog (such as here and here).

So, it should come as no surprise that I have been waiting for Season 5 since Season 4 was about to end. And well, well, well… that time is almost upon us. Yes, Season 5 of Game of Thrones will premiere on April 13 on HBO GO and HBO!!!

Check out some of the stills from the upcoming season here:

My favorite on-screen siblings. <3

Who's excited to see Sansa play Jean Grey in the new X-Men movies?!??

All I want for Valentine's Day is 8 inches of Snow. #sorrynotsorry

My woman-crush since her Tudors days.

The goal is to become someone's sheikh ma shieraki someday. (Is that right? My Dothraki isn't as strong as my Elvish. Sorry.)

In this half-hour special, you will get an inside look at the people behind Game of Thrones as they shoot the 5th season across three different countries. Cool beans!You can also watch the Season 5 trailer here:Send a raven and share it across the realm! ;)

I had big plans for 2015.January 1, 2015 was supposed to be my big restart button. I was supposed to cut people out and work on my overall health; but as God would have it, I went through an emotional, mental, spiritual and physical whirlwind in January instead.If you follow me on social media, you should know I hit rock bottom a few days ago. While I am still not over the tragedy, I vowed to pick myself back up and hit that restart button all over again, though. Albeit later than originally planned, I am ready to start fresh… or at least try my best to do so. And what better way to best plan a new life than with some trusty must-haves by your side, right?

2 awesome items that you should have to help you out (you can win them here, too!)

Tokyo Finds Out of the Box PlannerIf you aren't much of a planner person, then check out this innovative way to chronicle your 2015: the Tokyo Finds Out of the Box Planner.

How does it work? The calendar basically has 365 unique pages in it that you can customise as you see fit. Doodle on them. Have your friends write messages on them for you. Or just use them for reminders or to-do-lists. The options are endless! :)

(I'm a frustrated and shy artist, though, so I just grabbed this photo from their Facebook page. Hee.)

Coffee Bean PlannerNow, if you are a planner person, but were simply too busy (or too broke) to get your own resident coffee shop planner, then you're in luck coz I'm giving away a Coffee Bean planner, as well. <3
